Holomovement
Holomovement is a metaphysical concept invented by David Bohm describing his visual description of the 'fabric of reality', implying 'undivided wholeness in flowing movement' [1].
The holomovement is the underlying flow (of possibly not yet defined qualities related to thought, matter and energy) in which reality (or the possible realities) can be experienced. The term holomovement constitutes a double reference to (a) holism, the view that a whole cannot be reduced to its constituent parts (a view he insists applies to the Implicate Order), and (b) holography, Bohm's favorite analogy for the relationship between Implicate and Explicate Orders. In standard photography, each section of film apparently only stores information about the section of image it corresponds to. However, in holographic photography, sections do not correspond in this way. Rather, information about the entire reproduction is stored at every point in the holographic film (effectively, what is stored is the particular point's 'view' of the object being reproduced). Here the holographic film along with the light cast on it represent the Implicate Order while the hologram represents the Explicate Order. Holomovement would be the act of casting the light on the film to produce the hologram.
